old datsun pickups has a wiring diagram, check that to see where the wires go. the T connector on the internal alt is for your dummy light on the dash, plug that in!

 

on the connector to the external regulator, if its like the 510/521 etc then its just jumping 2 wires. To make it clean without cutting wires, you can use 2 wires and 4 spade connectors. keeps the stock wiring in place if you ever want to go back.

I removed the regulator and cut the connector off. Removed the wires with their spade connectors and soldered the two I wanted and put back in the plastic plug.

So now I just plug it into the stock harness and it's done and neat.

Thank you doctor.

 

Printing press accident. Lost a few fingernails and some meat off my index finger. The nails grew out 'funny' after that.

 

 

I got a new pocket knife when i was a kid. I was making a spear, sharpening the end of a stick. Missed and took my thumb nail off. Fun times. 10 years ago, working a drill press I looked away for just a second. Drill press came down and drilled right thru the last knuckle on my inded finger, right above the finger nail. Tip of my finger was dangling. I sliced my knuckles a few times, got some scars and stiches... Got an infection once in my left hand on my knuckle. Red veins up to my arm pit. I almost died. They wanted to cut my hand off but i fought it....

 

Did this one a few years ago on my sentra

Been there, done that~ sort of. Sold my '68 Camaro to a buddy back in '75. We were under the hood one day (we both worked at the same gas station) and he says "hey, I think the alt belt's loose", so as I proceed to grab it and give a tug, he walks around without warning and STARTS THE CAR!! Passing my fingers thru the alternator pulley, it took the nail on my left *birdie* finger and ripped it right out the side of my finger. To this day it still doesn't grow quite right....
